Freston is a small village and civil parish in the Babergh district, in the county of Suffolk, England, located on the Shotley Peninsula, 4 miles south-east of Ipswich.

[2] Freston is notable as the location of the last outbreak of bubonic plague in England, in 1910.

The centre of the outbreak was Latimer Cottages, where it is thought plague-bearing rats may have come ashore with smuggled goods.

[5] A Neolithic causewayed enclosure lies just south of the village.
